Again another thank you for all you do for us. This is one of my lifelines. Nearly, 6 years ago, diagnosed with IBC and her2, I was given no long term survival from several doctors. Well, today I am happy to say I am still hear and I do consider 6 years in March long term! My quality of life is good and I am enjoying every minute of it. Christine is right we have come a long way and will continue to do so. Sending you all a big Christmas hug and a Happy healthy New Year. I said a prayer last evening for all our families on this board who are with out their loved one today. Sandy
